Report: Yankees interested in Red Sox Buchholz, White Sox Samardzija
It seems as though the New York Yankees will not standby with their struggling rotation.
According to a report from CBS New York, the Yankees are interested in Chicago White Sox righty Jeff Samardzija and Boston Red Sox ace Clay Buchholz.
CBS Sports points out that Buchholz might be unlikely because of the rivalry between the two teams, but Samardzija is a legitimate trade candidate:
Unlike some of the Yankees’ other reported targets, Samardzija’s asking price would probably be low because he’s having a rough season (4.56 ERA, MLB-high 123 hits in 108 2/3 innings) for a team that is currently 10 games below .500. When on, however, the 30-year-old right-hander has tremendous stuff, as evidenced by his 2.99 ERA in a combined 33 starts for the Cubs and A’s last season.
Heading into Tuesday's game, Yankees starters owned a 4.43 ERA, which ranks 13th in the American League.
